List My Twenty Favorite Male Vocalists

Last post I said I can’t dance. Guess what? I can’t sing either but you’ll see me singing along at any concert I go to. You’ll SEE me but you won’t hear me. I will leave that to people who can so to take a cue from Music Listography by Lisa Nola, here in no

I am going to guest DJ on The Big Easy in Donegal, Ireland on November 2, 2023

There were three shows I did called The Bungalow Show, Henri on the Radio and Silver Platter. The Silver Platter show was the one I

List Twenty Desert Island Discs

The Slow Readers Club are a very cool band from Manchester.

COVID-19 Playlist Week 20

So here’s what scary about this post. The title means I have been working from home for TWENTY weeks now. When my company sent us home to work mid-March I was thinking end of May, end of June at the latest I would be back in the office. There’s a very good chance I won’t
